Rapoport reported on NFL Network's "NFL AM" that the Bucs wanted to make the move to Glennon now, with the bye next week, so the rookie could have two full weeks to review corrections after making his first start.

It was only a matter of time before this trigger was pulled. Freeman has been the Bucs' starter since midway through his rookie season in 2009, but his 24-35 record has been marked by inconsistent play.
